True enough. The difference there, though, is that Android runs on a LOT of handsets, Google still supports the hardware (HTC, actually) in case of problems and Google is STILL officially putting out their newer OS's on that device. Maemo doesn't run no lots of manufacturers' devices, Nokia's customer support is appalling and Nokia has already said that newer OS's won't be officially supported on the N900. Nexus One customers are treated a whole lot better, despite the fact you can't buy any more.
